A Quick Threesome




Many of us have busy lives that make taking time for an hour—even half an hour—of exercise difficult. That’s why I have my collection of Quickies. This week I’ve posted three such playlists, all coming in under 19 minutes.

First up, this week’s wog, Itty Bitty Witty Ditties. As befitting their light subject matter and style, none of the songs in this one get above a brisk walk. Use this wog for a mental break as much as a light physical one.

Next, on the opposite side of the scale, comes Loners. This wog is highlighted by two versions of Solitary Man, the original by Neil Diamond and the cover by Chris Isaak. They’re short, but intense. Overall, this one rates as Very Vigorous.

Finally, I whisk you back to the days of Soul with Souled Out: 18 minutes of R&B bliss, featuring classics like Dionne Warwick’s Walk On By, and a rousing Heat Wave from Martha and the Vandellas, plus Soul Man by Sam and Dave (later covered by the Blues Brothers). Depending on whether you run, walk, or skip to Heat Wave, this Quickie is Vigorous or Light.
